On another tangent - the OL - I'd like to come out of the draft addressing the line, but I think the playcalling precipitated a lot of the negative perception and actual stats of the unit. I won't rant about it again in this thread, as I have done so plenty in other threads going back prior to even last season.
I am not weary of Brian Thomas Jr just because of his limited route tree as Pulses says, he can work on that. But I completely understand
liking Adonai Mitchell more because of his more diverse tree. Adonai just is a natural at getting open on short routes as well as all the other
routes and he has fantastic hands. But Brian Thomas Jr has the talent you just cannot teach, his size/speed combination is very rare.
BTW, nice seeing you on here again Dr.Z

Yes, Thomas Jr looks dynamic on film. Doesn't look like he is 6'4" but he is. Tee had to work on his route running just the same but he mostly
runs the same routes Thomas runs except Thomas can outrun DB's and he doesn't just have to rely on his size like Tee seems to.
